“…In recent years, 5d oxides have received considerable attention because of their distinctive features such as unusual superconductivity in KOs 2 O 6 [1], noticeable metal-to-insulator transition in NaOsO 3 [2], unusual Mott-insulating state in Sr 2 IrO 4 [3], and unusually high Curie temperature of ~725 K in Sr 2 CrOsO 6 [4]. In particular, osmium-containing oxides have been investigated intensively, and recently, the structure and magnetic properties of Ba 2 MOsO 6 (M = Li, Na, Ca) [5,6], Sr 2 MOsO 6 (M = Fe and Cr) [4,7], and Ca 3 OsO 6 [8] have been studied.…”
